Editorial

Dear Customers and Colleagues, At the beginning of 2014, the Associated General Contractors of America released data noting that one-third of contracting companies in Florida said they planned to add workers. This was great news as Florida's construction industry was hit harder than any other state during the recession, with a 700,000-strong workforce cut in half. In 2012, it was announced that Tampa Bay had lost more construction jobs, year-overyear, than any other metro region in the country. Now that recovery is underway. This is playing a strong role in lowering unemployment rates in the state. Over the past year, Florida has added more than 24,000 construction jobs. Today’s market growth affords contractors the opportunity to introduce safe and more effective means to meet the growing demands for greater efficiencies and the need to meet tight construction deadlines. At Doka, we are proud to be part of this new vitality in the state and are doing our part by offering formwork solutions that expedite cycle times, reduce complexity, and maximize labor efficiencies. From impressive shoring solutions, such as those used to support a 6-footthick concrete SkyMat slab at the Surf Club, to efficient slab solutions utilizing Dokaflex and Dokamatic Tables across many Miami projects. Doka has worked diligently to help the south Florida construction community rebound and rebuild. Doka’s formwork solutions are designed to be easy to use; they promote an optimal safety environment for all workers, as well as create efficiencies in multiple areas of the construction process. As development continues to blossom in Florida, we look forward to helping the concrete construction community grow their business and their bottom-line.

Doka News Bay Harbor Islands Apartment Complex Fast assembly with Dokaflex, Frami, and Platform K help beat the construction schedule on this use this 8,000 sq. ft. per floor project with South Florida Construction.

Vela Vista - Commodore Country Club, Ft. Lauderdale First time user of Dokaflex and Frami formwork is well ahead of schedule due to the fast erection and stripping time. “Doka has supported my company from day one on this project starting with engineering, delivery and jobsite service” stated Vince Bertolami, Owner, Bertolami Construction.

Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort  MC Velar Construction chose Framax wall forms along with interior shaft platforms in order to minimize critical crane time and cycle the shear wall forms in only one pick. By using Framax, the interior walls could serve as the slab edge forms after being raised. The exterior stair cores used MF240 platforms in order for the wall forms to be cycled efficiently for this project and allow remedial work to take place.


Construction Schedule Cut, Thanks to Fast Cycle Times The Miami Design District is dedicated to the unity of design, fashion, art and architecture. To facilitate the growing area of stores, restaurants, and art venues, the area needed a new parking garage in a busy, tight area. Choosing the Formwork Components The major challenge on this project was to design a modified garage beam system that allowed the contractor to span between beams using conventional shoring systems, reducing the number of shores and eliminating a large portion of the reshores. Another challenge was the architectural finish for the cores. To accomplish this, Teitelbaum Concrete chose Doka’s

Top 50 wall formwork. They also chose Framax and Frami columns for the ease of adjusting the columns to meet the variety of sizes on the project. The key to success for this project was the many planning meetings between Titelbaum and Doka. The object was to find a fast erection/stripping shoring system with fewer parts and pieces. This would enable the cycle time to meet the schedule. Doka was brought in to supply a time-saving innovative shoring

Framax Xlife wall formwork in use at the SLS Brickell project in Miami, Florida with Commercial Forming.

The Facts Location: Miami, FL

The SLS Brickell Hotel and Residences is a 52 story tower which will house 133 hotel rooms and suites and 450 condo residences. Located at 1300 South Miami Ave. in Brickell, the development will have retail shops at the ground level and feature 3 on-site restaurants.

Type of structure: Mixed-used development

Contractors Goal

Products: Framax Xlife wall formwork, Stripping Corners, Shaft Platforms, Platform K

Using Doka formwork solutions for the first time, Concrete Contractor, Commercial Forming has selected Framax wall formwork on this project. The primary goal was to use a formwork system for the shear walls that was easy for the crew to use and fast to set and strip. The contractor was most impressed with the ease of assembly of the panels, the reduction of the overall parts and pieces compared to previously used systems, as well as the ease of which the material can be re-configured for different wall applications on the site. Another advantage, was that the integrated Framax stripping corners and shaft platforms allowed the contractor to strip and then set the stair and elevator cores in one crane pick.

time consuming and expensive operation is eliminated, keeping the project on time and on budget” stated Fernando Doreste, Sr. Account Manager, Doka Florida. The Framax Xlife is a revolutionary design from Doka with a special plastic surface that takes the number of reuses way up and pushes follow-up costs way down. This feature combined with the tried-and-tested steel frame, hot-dip galvanized and powder coated, makes the Framax Xlife system exceptionally economical. The Framax Xlife wall formwork system allowed the men to reconfigure the formwork easily from one side of the project to another. "We were able to reduce our work force by almost 20%" stated Ron Rafumoff, General Superintendent, Commercial Forming.

  The eight-story, 419-unit residential building uses a total of 60,000 sq. ft. of Doka slab formwork.

Residential Construction Rises with Dokaflex The residential construction wave in Miami continues with the Broadstone Brickell Lofts. The eight-story, 419-unit residential building uses a total of 60,000 sq. ft. of Doka floor formwork. Finding Solutions Dokaflex was the preferred solution selected by the contractor due to its flexibility and ease of use. MC Velar Construction had previously used the system on the Park Square project and was familiar with the system. The elevator shear walls are being constructed with Framax wall formwork with Stripping Corners and Shaft Platforms. Frami hand set wall formwork is in use on the garage columns due to it's light weight. Dokamatic Tables are used on the main building and on the garage main decks in conjunction with Doka 10k per leg scaffold on the ramp area. Two of the major challenges on this job are that the load bearing masonry walls are in place on the perimeters. The contractor has to strip the tables out of existing balconies. Work is being completed at a faster rate than with conventional shoring. The contractor can strip and set 10,000

square feet of deck formwork in one day. The final benefit for the contractor was fast, safe and quick cycle times.

Pre-assembled Dokamatic Tables get the job done on this nine-floor hotel project.


Aloft Hotels Speed Up Construction Process Starwood’s Aloft Hotels, a sister brand of W Hotels, is building a 239-room hotel in South Beach. The new hotel is located across the street from the Perry hotel and a block away from the W Hotel South Beach. A Good Investment The concrete contractor, MC Velar, choose Dokamatic Tables for this project based on previous success at the Park Square apartment project in Doral, Florida. The main benefit is that the cycle time is greatly reduced from conventional shoring. MC Velar has been using Dokamatic Tables for over a year on various projects.

The typical hotel bays in Aloft allow the contractor to maximize the benefits and size of the Dokamatic Tables. The 8.5 kip Eurex prop capacity allowed the customer to reshore the floors on an 8- x 8-foot grid, significantly speeding up the process while reducing labor costs – a savings over the conventional post-for-post method. In this design, having the posts inside of the slab gives the contractor a working area contained within the working deck around the perimeter.

Living Large at the Surf Club The Surf Club is a historic 1920s landmark property, set on a 9-acre Atlantic ocean front property. Once a glamorous hidden playground for celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner and Dean Martin, the property is now being completely restored. Pritzker prize-winning architect Richard Meier has been charged with designing a new 80-room boutique hotel, Four Seasons Hotel & Residences, as well as two residential glass towers that will feature 157 private residences. Complex Design Involves Planning This job has taken extreme coordination between all parties involved due to the complexity and magnitude of the overall structure within the tight schedule. The two 12-story towers feature homes and penthouses with private gardens, pools and elevators. The most challenging aspect is the Hotel SkyMat Slab. It is a 6-foot-thick concrete slab that will be built over and cantilevered over large areas of the existing historical building. Doka Staxo shoring was the solution chosen by Baker Concrete. Extreme planning was necessary around not only the existing structure, but also for the bracing of the historical building. The Doka shaft platforms in conjunction with the Framax wall forms were the solution for all of the interior cores,

allowing the contractor to pick all cores in a single pick with the trailing platforms in order to maximize productivity and minimize crane time. The integrated safety features of the Framax and Staxo Shoring systems have been complimented by Jose Bobadilla, safety director, Coastal Construction. Doka worked closely with the site supervisors to provide the solutions required to reduce labor costs and maintain a high level of safety. “A lot of different companies were interested in quoting some of the various areas on this job,” said Jack Bullis, General Superintendent, Baker Concrete. “But, based on our good, long-standing relationship and the solutions available, we choose Doka.”

The Surf Club project is using over 35,000 sq. ft. of Framax Xlife on the shear walls. All of the cores have shaft platforms with trailing platforms for the remedial work. Addtionally, over 20,000 sq. ft. of Staxo 100 is used to support the 6' thick skymat slabs.

The Professional “Using Doka’s self climber, we don’t need as many people, it cuts down the manpower and increases production. I really enjoy using this system ” Kenneth Sloan, Head Foreman Doka Self Climber, Baker Concrete

Planning the Project As work began, there were extensive planning efforts between Gulf Builders and Doka. One of the major challenges was developing a shoring system with tables which covered all different heights and widths. The structure is a grid of pile caps, grade beams, cast-in-place concrete beams, columns, stairs and elevator cores. To work with all these elements, Gulf builders chose to use the Staxo 100 shoring system and Dokamatic tables. This allowed the contractor to assemble on the ground and fly into place. The contractor could also strip and move the tables and shoring towers all at one time. “We go back and forth 8 to 10 times with the engi-

They have been servicing us properly, on-time, we haven’t had any problems.” “I like the Staxo system,” said Smith. “Out of one truck you can get 15,000 sq. ft. pre-built, flown into place and then jack up in a matter of days. So it’s a very versatile system.” This project involves 250,000 sq. ft. expansions and is the first of three expansions. The construction involves a series of columns with embeds and beams that will be infilled with structural steel. “With the embeds going up all the way through the columns on all four sides, we choose to use the Frami

system with the stack up poured in 3 heights,” said Dave Single, Sr. Account Manager, Doka. “That way we can close the forms in and column embeds exactly where they are supposed to be. For the larger columns we chose the Framax forms for the same reason, very versatile.” The Staxo 100 system with the integrated climbing ladders added the safety feature that the crew can climb up inside the Staxo form, as there are tie off points. “So, from the safety aspect everyone has been very pleased and happy with the system,” said Single.
